Yo-Bo-Se-Yo!!!

That's 'hello' in Korean! Yeap its been a rather hmmm ... interesting day so far. Nothing seemed amidst when I boarded OZ 752m Asiana Airlines bound for Incheon Airport, Seoul (save for the fact that I forgot to remove my swiss army knife and favourite scissor from my pouch at the airport hence it was confiscated. drats! didn't learn my lesson in Berlin!). I spoke quite a bit with the young Korean loady next to me who went by the name of Jasmine - her boyfren is a Singaporean who works in Bahrain! Anyway just as we were about to land, the pilot announces (in Korean which Jasmine helped to translate) that due to the fog, we'd have to circle the airport and if the situation didn't improve we'd have to land at alternative locations (one of which was Jeju Island which was not even connected to the mainland!). So after circling for 30min he finally decides to land at Gimpoh airport ... which is 30km away sheesh! AND to add insult to injury ... we have to wait 1.5 hrs in the cabin because the immigration staff were not yet ready! Sheesh ... tok abt Justin's luck! Thankfully, the one saving grace was when Jasmine helped me borrow a cell (you can't use S'Pore mobiles in Korea) from an old lady to call dad! Phew ... otherwise the chaos would have been catastrophic! As it is I got home exhausted (and STARVING - food on board wasn't a lot or great). And allow me to say that the house that my dad has here is ... STUPENDOUS! I'd say it gives the house back home a run for the money in terms of PSF and trashes it flat down in terms of cool gadgets and funky equipment! Ahh ... in love with it already! One example .... u dun need a key for the door it uses a electronic code ... the bloody toilet bowl has electronic commands and key pads (which I can't understand haha!)! I'm gonna make a video of the place for u guys back home! ;p Yeah anyway my dad lives in the ambassadorial district so there are lotsa impressive diplomatic residences and consulates here as well!
Right now I'm trying to plan out my trips for the next few days ... but it seems its gonna be difficult to get out of the city which is wad I REALLY want to do. Should be meeting So Yuen, a a fellow CU fren from LSE. Mebbe she'll know some nice places to visit ... preferably somewhere nice and green ... I get sick of cities some times ...
